4 Substitutes for Olive Oil in Roasted Carrot and Puy Lentil Salad
1. Rapeseed oil
Ratio: 1:1
The best all-round substitute - higher smoke point, neutral flavour and similar monounsaturated fat profile.
2. Sunflower oil
Ratio: 1:1
Very neutral and high smoke point - excellent for frying where you don't want any oil flavour.
3. Avocado oil
Ratio: 1:1
Highest smoke point of all common oils - very neutral in flavour. More expensive but excellent for very high heat cooking.
4. Coconut oil (refined)
Ratio: 1:1
Use refined to avoid coconut flavour. Solid at room temperature - melt before using.
